Gryphons clip Falcons in first round of NCHSAA Class 5A playoffs

The Rocky Mount High School football team ended a two-game losing streak Thursday night and rolled into the second round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 5A playoffs with a 38-20 victory over fellow Big East 5A/6A Conference foe C.B. Aycock at home. The Gryphons, the No. 9 seed, improved to 7-4 overall and will play at No. 8 seed Havelock (6-5) in the second round on Friday. The Rams had a first-round bye. CBA, the No. 24 seed, completed its season 2-9. The Golden Falcons opened the scoring with a 28-yard touchdown run with 3:11 left in the first quarter, and the extra point gave them a 7-0 lead. The Gryphons responded with 24 unanswered points. Zamari Knight had scoring runs of three yards (0:30 first quarter) and 15 yards (3:48 second quarter), and Silas Cloer kicked a 36-yard field goal late in the second stanza to give the home team a 17-7 lead at halftime. Aydan Banks reeled off a 45-yard TD run and Cloer booted the extra point with 8:50 remaining in the third quarter to extend the lead to 24-7 before CBA briefly ended the barrage with a 23-yard TD run and the

High school football: Herdman leading big-play Vikings into second round

Given his defensive prowess, it figures that D.H. Conley’s Ben Herdman would know how to exploit an opponent’s weakness — repeatedly. The Vikings’ senior linebacker blocked two punts and added an interception in the first half Thursday in D.H. Conley’s 63-38 victory over East Wake in the first round of the NCHSAA Class 7A football playoffs at Hollywood Crossroads. The win advanced D.H. Conley, the No. 9 seed in the East 7A bracket, to a second-round matchup on the road. The Vikings are scheduled to square off against eighth-seeded Cape Fear, located just east of Fayetteville in Cumberland County, on Friday. Given that Herdman is D.H. Conley’s leader in tackles with 120 — 11 of those for loss — going into last Thursday’s game, it’s not exactly a surprise that he can break down the Xs and Os of an opponent and describe it like a coach who spends countless hours in the film room. “We knew their schematics on punt. We took a lot of time practicing,” Herdman said. “We saw that if we overloaded one side that they didn’t have enough bodies over there, so that’s where we took advantage of it.” One of Herdman’s blocked kicks occurred
